Henry Vasconez, MD

Practice Philosophy

Merging art and science with uncompromising integrity is essential to provide high quality and excellence of care to all my patients. To children and adults, locally and globally, I am dedicated to provide personal and specialized care. Training in General Surgery in Chicago, Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, and Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgery in Dallas provide the surgical proficiency to achieve these goals. Board certification by the American Board of Surgery and Plastic Surgery and a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Hand Surgery rounds out the qualifications. I have been listed in Best Doctors in America since 1996 and voted best plastic surgeon in Lexington by the readers of Ace Weekly magazine.
